Andrew O’Hagan · Light Entertainment · LRB 27 October 2012"Why is British light entertainment so often based on the sexualisation of people too young to cope? And why is it that we have a press so keen to feed off it?" - thought-provoking blog post about the culture that led to Savile - and those before and after him.(tags: )

The O'Hagan LRB article is very, very good, though I would want to emphasise the belief of the British public in a decent moral order in the 1970s and before more than O'Hagan does, and that most of them led regimented lives which left little room for exploration of sexuality. Those doing the regimenting, of course, often did.
